A monthly nature & science adventure for curious 7–12 year olds.

Curiosity Club

A monthly companion for 7–12 year olds, inviting them to read, make, experiment, and explore as they discover how nature works.

Each edition centres on a seasonally connected theme, exploring either a natural process or a rich ecosystem. Through beautifully illustrated guides, hands-on investigations, and creative prompts, children discover how nature looks, behaves, and connects across species, seasons, and landscapes.

From tidal coastlines to the physics of flight, every month blends story-led science with simple materials you likely already have at home, building knowledge, nurturing creativity, and growing real confidence through exploration.

Plans start at £16.50 for your first box, with free UK shipping and subsidised international delivery.

Some of the adventures inside our ‘Nature’s Architects’ March 2026 Edition:

🧱 Discover how animals build for shelter, survival, display, and care 

🧱 Explore weaving in the wild, from long-tailed tits to orb-weaver spiders 

🧱 Journey underground with moles, badgers, and voles 

🧱 Investigate walls and materials, and how animals reuse structures

🧱 Follow beavers and other ecosystem engineers as they reshape rivers, forests, and even coastlines

🧱 Step into our Plant Lab to test how water moves through xylem and how roots stabilise soil and prevent erosion

How does billing and delivery work?

When will I be charged, and what will I receive?

That depends on when in the month you join:

Join in the first two weeks (1st–14th):

  • You’ll pay immediately for this month’s edition, which will be posted to you right away. While stocks last. If we have sold out, you will be joining for next month's edition. This will be clear on the sales page.
  • You’ll then be charged again on the 25th to reserve your next box.
  • From then on, renewals are charged on the 15th of each month.

Join in the second two weeks (15th–end of month):

  • You’re securing your place for next month’s edition.
  • You’ll pay at checkout, and your first box will arrive in the first week of the following month.
  • From then on, renewals are charged on the 15th of each month.

What subscription options do you offer?

We offer three plans:
3-month minimum
6-month minimum
12-month minimum

All plans are billed monthly and renew automatically. The difference lies in your commitment and the longer you stay, the more you save per box.

✨ Your first payment is always taken at checkout. From then on, renewals are charged on the 15th of each month, with a one-off earlier charge on the 25th if you joined in the first two weeks.

You can pause your subscription for one month at any time via your account. Cancellations can be made any time after your chosen commitment has been fulfilled.

What age group is Curiosity Club designed for?

Curiosity Club is thoughtfully created for children aged 7-12 years old, a stage full of questions, creativity, and growing confidence. We have a second subscription for 4-6 year olds called Curiosity Crew.

Each box is written and illustrated especially for this age group, combining story-led science, creative projects, and hands-on exploration they can enjoy independently.

That said, every child is different. Some younger or older children may also enjoy the experience, depending on their interests and reading level. We have some members as young as 6 years old and some adults who have joined just for themselves!

Activities are designed to be screen-free and mostly child-led, with occasional prompts where adult support is helpful, especially for cooking, craft tools, or outdoor experiments.

Please note that collectible pin badges and some other items may contain small parts or sharp elements. These are not suitable for children under 36 months and should be kept out of reach of young children and individuals who may have difficulty with small parts.

Meet Ria

I’m Ria, a mother of two (ages 6 and 10), a science communicator, and an illustrator.

Like many parents, I long for my children to grow up with curiosity, creativity, and confidence. But between school runs and daily life, I often found it hard to create the kinds of moments that truly nurture those qualities.

I was looking for something that would spark a love for nature, encourage care and wonder, and help my children value what they have, without adding to the overwhelm of one-use activities or short-lived kits.

Curiosity Club and Curiosity Crew grew from that wish. It’s the resource I couldn’t find: a simple, beautiful, and sustainable way to connect with my children, nurture their independent thinking, and explore the natural world together.

I hope it brings that same sense of connection, delight, and discovery to your family too.
